The portable version doesn't work fine (if I change the directory, it saves a file in the first one). The zip version is better, but the first time to make it really portable the user have to open "Extras" -> "Settings" -> "Start program" and select Config file in "FreeCommander install folder". Otherwise it saves only some setting lines in the ini.

Lupo, thanks for pointing that out.
I'm sorry I didn't make note of it in original post, I think that info is included in the listing in the TPFC database here.

And, so sad, COLOR ME BLUE --
The new toolbars with Large Icons are kind of buggy.
Workable, but annoying, they re-arrange themselves randomly whenever I make a customize change.
